Paperback. Condition: Good. Praying as St. Francis prayed Written by the author of the best-selling Francis: The Journey and the Dream, this brief meditation describes Francis' method of prayer. Francis considered this threefold path to God a precondition for anyone wishing to achieve a spiritual interior life. The path has three loves which are really the same: loving God through loving others, through loving nature, and through loving one's self. Focusing on the Other through love is the very center of Franciscan thought. How we love and the extent of that love then teaches us how to pray. Francis is sometimes portrayed as a dreamy romantic, a knight-errant, a troubadour, a poor fool for the poor Christ. The book shows how Francis was also very much a realist and how his three-way path fits practically within day-to-day living. The book shows how embracing others, especially the poor and rejected, is a way of embracing those parts of ourselves we haven't yet accepted; thus we're brought to a new healthier sense of the body and of sexuality. The world is good and holy; this is the Franciscan gift to the world. This slim book offers enriching help for spiritual seekers, for those looking for a more affirming way to pray, for those in need of self-forgiveness and love, and for those working toward social justice. It's also a delight and a treasure for Francis devotees and for anyone who wants to find the Francis within.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A way of life both stimulating and troubling This is the way of life St. Francis shows us. It asks that we look again at the possibilities within us and around us and see Francis's life and examples as a way of embracing our "dark side," of reconciling the opposites in ourselves and the world. The Way of St. Francis offers all Christians a guide to following the spirituality of the beloved saint from Assisi. Father Murray Bodo challenges himself and us with a renewed understanding of Francis--to whom we turn again and again in interpreting our own human experience and our experience of God. We reflect on the saint's ways of "letting go," of achieving poverty, of simplicity and non-violence, of entering all creatures. Franciscan spirituality is no different from any other Christian spirituality, observes Bodo. But the way that Francis lives the Gospel has an irresistible attraction for all. "Francis makes me feel loved; he makes me feel that I matter," the author writes. "That is the power he exercises over us.and that is why so many look to him as the model of what they, too, can be." This is a book for all spiritual seekers and lovers of St. Francis--a man who has inspired millions for over eight centuries.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The wonders and mysteries of sacramental life are celebrated in this distinctive collection of essays by eight acclaimed Catholic writers. In Signatures of Grace, Murray Bodo, OFM, Andre Dubus, Mary Gordon, Patricia Hampl, Ron Hansen, Paula Huston, Paul Mariani, and Katherine Vaz share the personal experiences that have deepened the significance of the sacraments in their spiritual and everyday lives. In Baptism, Katherine Vaz, a novelist and lifelong swimmer, blends images of water, creation, and rebirth to evoke the eternal readiness of the soul to receive grace. Discussing Penance. Patricia Hampl recalls her earliest confessions, when tallying up a decent number of disobediences was a challenge. Writing from a wheelchair and knowing he would never walk again, Andre Dubus, who died in 1999, learned to embrace life's simplest pleasures as gifts: a breeze wafting through his window on a fine June day; a conversation with a friend; preparing a meal for his daughters. These and other essays weave the evolution of the sacraments through the centuries with each author's unique personal history. Inspiring and deeply felt, Signatures of Grace is an invitation to revisit, or discover for the first time, the profound mysteries at the heart of Catholic life.…
